Horses for Switching Cars

English railroads do the major portion Of
their own csrting, collecting and delivering
freight at the freiChters' doors One Of the
largest companies, the Midland, has in con-
slant employment no fewer than ), 200 horses;
and Of these 1000 are located in London.
Some of these horses are, however, employed
in switching cars, at which business a heavy
horse, weighing shout 1900 pounds, can do
good service. They soon become very expert,
and start the car by standing with the trace
chain slack, and then, without moving their
feet, throw their shoulders forward, when
their weight starts the car. They also learn
to Judge when the car has acquired sufficient
sneed. and step aside without word of COM
mand. letting the cars come gently together.

Springer on Division and Admls.

Interview in Washington: have never
been opposed to the admission OF Dakota
us II state, having always been satisfied
that she had the requisite population and
that her financial and business conditions
were satisfactory. The outcry that has
been made against me has drowned the
distractions which made in the question
as it appeared before congress, and I have
been charged with opposing Dako-
oted fashion. What was re.
ally opposed to WAS the division OF the
state and not its admission. The matter
OF division on the forty.sixth parallel,
or the forty-seventh standard parallel. or
any other line OF that kind is nonsensical
and purely without logic, and the whole
thing was based upon jealous feeling cN-
listing between North and South Dakota.
1t had no relation to the question OF ad-
mission whatever. 1t was ccmcnted to it
and always thrust forward with it in II
way that would not allow even the friends
OF the state n division OF that question.
III the territory is, as has been repeatedly
stated by South Dakotians too large for
single state, my plan is to
DIVIDE THE TERRITORY.
by the Missouri river into two parts, or
on some other north and south line. This
would throw the unpopulnsed counties
and the great Sioux reservation together
and leave tie well-settlod parts OF the ter
litory to become one state. When Dako-
tn asks for ndmis sion in this way she will
not be refused it. She will really have the
first consideration at tn. next congress.
As far rs political questions are concerned,
am not inclined to think they had any
particuln" weight with our party in refus-
ing this request of Dakota. Tho way in
which she came forward and demanded
not only admission but the setting off for
this proposed state OF the best part of the
territory, and leaving the cnorthernportion
out, without consulting with this section
in any way whatever, did not recommend
itself to us rs the best way OF doing things.
1T raised antagonsms to begin with, and
when We began to consider this question
and refuse To make this division, and to
acknowledge the pseudo state already es-
tablished and ut once admit it before any
authorized action of the people, with it's
two senators md two members into this
last congress, concluded that it was Il lit
tie too much, and, of course, were imme-
dintely charged with partisanism. think
you may safely say that Dakota will have
statehood granted her at the first session
OF the Fiftieth congress"

Tempting Dishes.

The following list OF tempting dishes
OF our noble selves prepared la can
oibal ia from the San Francisco
Chronicle;
Although cannibalism is reported
by missionaries to have died ont
among the islands of the south sens
It is far more common than generally
imagined. In New Ireland / saw a
big fight between two villages, and
after the battle the bodies of those
who had fallen were eaten. The
bodies after being scalded in hot
water, are scraped with = bamboo
knife by old women, An old man cuts
up the bodies, taking care to keen the
thigh aud shin bones, which are used
tor spear heads.
After being wrapped in stout leaves
the dismembered cadavers are placed
in ovens dug in the ground, and in
tour days are ready for eating, The
natives made no concealment OF their
disgusting meal, and during the feast
they held wild dancing and orgies.
The preparation of sago, cocoanut
and human brains is called saksak.
and is in great demand among the
women. The females seemed to be-
more brutal and savage then the men
during this cannibal banquet.

death. He was afforded an academic edu-
cation. Afterward he spent Il year or
more as u student in the University OF
Vermont with the class OF 1872. His nat
ural bent was in the direction of law, and
branch he began practice. He attained
distinction i'll this calling, and was elected
district attorney Of Franklin county, for

Yanstsn Insane Asylum Scandal.

Special from Yankton The investiga-
ton of the trustees OF tho insane asylum
has been concludcd, and Examiner Harris
and Attorney General Tcmpieton have
gone to bismarck to report to Gov. Church.
Tho facts developed by tho examination
are about as follows: At the close OF the
last fiscal year last Iall the board made II
report through its officers which has
been taken as tho starting point Tor the
investigation. 1t has been developed
through the examination that the trustees
took the disbursement of certain funds.
notably the fuel and Improvement funds,
out OF the hands Of the steward, the legal

Colby. One of the items so disbursed by
tho secretary was the sum OF over $l2, 900
for coal, as shown by the report to tho
governor. Mr.. Colby on the witness stand
admitted that so large an namount had not
been expended for coal. Three thousand
and some dollars OF the sum, he said, had

fund for convenience or some other reason.
But he WAS sure that tho money had all
gone into the asylum somewhere. He
could not in the first instance tell exactly
what it had been spent for. Hekept mem

when he retired to private life rs useless
impediments. Later he remembered that
the money had been used for Ger.
tain improvements that ho specified. But
Unfortunately these improvements we've
mentioned in the official report as paid
from othor funds, and appeared there rs
expenditures over and above the sum spent
for fuel. The steward OF the asylum, Mr..
Potter, gave the most damaging testi-
mony against the trustees. He said that
an expenditure to the amount OF over
5000 as per the trustees youchers, had
been interpolated into his official report
to the governor. He did not know that
they were included in his report until he
saw the report in print.

Destructive Cloud Burst.

At Oberlin, Ohio. Sunday afternoon the
5th, during a thunder storm which swept
over the northern part of the state, much
damage was done by cloudburst, or
waterspout. When the storm was at it's
height an immense volume OF water came
down suddenly, swelling to a raging tor
rent the little creek which flows through the
town. The stream rose several feet within
q few minutes. flooding streets, fill.
ing cellars, and in many cases driving peo-
pie to the upper stories of their dwellings,
One house was floa ted from its foundation,
and havoc was played by the water in two
lumber yards. Three hundred feet OF the
Lake Shore railroad track was washed
away and one passenger train was stopped.
The flood subsided almost as quickly as
it came up. 1t is impossible to tell now
the exact amount OF damage, but 1t will
probably be $40, 900 or $4,000.

Protests AR,lnst EAornitnnt rreIxht nntes

Several petitions have been presented to
the Minnesota railroad commission agent,
exorbitant freight charges the first OF these
was filed by Senator L.. NJ. Pope of Man
kato and was from the Business Mems AS
sociation OF Minnesota. The second
was filed by w. H. Kelly OF
Owatonna for the Boards OF Trade
Union OF Owatonnn, Faribnult, Dundns,
Northield and Pennington,
The Owatonnas protest that theMilwau-
kee corporation is and has been charging
from eight to ten times as much per ton
per mile for carrying wheat from said cit
les and towns to St Paul as is charged for
carrying wheat from st. Paul to Chicago.
Senator Popcs petition is based on
complaints against excessive freight charg-
es on the general local tariffs.
Railroad Commissioner Gibbs said of
these petitions:
Tho commission has received two Of
these but. under the law, before consider
ing them must send copies to the Milwau-
kee road and give it twenty days in which
to prepare for hearing. This will be
done. After that time has elapsed
the hearing will be had. The bottom fact
in the railroad business OF this state is that
i'll st. Paul and Minneapolis is one city of
35O.O population. The railroads must
recognize that they have become II great
trade center, and rates into st. Paul must
be the Same per ton per mile as out of st.
Paul. There is no reason why railroad
should charge more from Albert Lea to
Waseca than it does from Waseca to Al
bert Lea. The city and county are united
on this issue. Tie railroad theory that
we must pay tribute to Chicago must be
abandoned. The trade center is here.
